What we’re looking for:

We are seeking a resourceful, versatile Software Engineer to join our Professional Services team. There they will build integrations between our products on behalf of customers and will help customize the data delivery pipeline. This will include integrating with APIs provided by Arcadia and third-parties as well. The ideal candidate is a low-ego team player who approaches engineering problems and potential solutions with a unique, holistic, and long-term perspective and is genuinely excited to build the software expanding renewable energy adoption by both businesses and consumers. We’re looking for an inquisitive, analytical problem-solver who possesses both grit and flexibility -- our work often involves implementing unconventional solutions and requires someone who’s not afraid to explore new domains when previous methods fail, sort through minute details, or find non-engineering ways around a problem. This person must be comfortable with iterating towards a solution and collaborating closely with colleagues in Customer Data Integration (CDI), Customer Success (CS), Product, SRE, InfoSec, Data Engineering, and Analytics along the way.

Our Delivery and customer integration uses a micro services architecture that makes heavy use of Python, EC2, EKS and database technologies. We are responsible for building integrations into APIs and using custom integration mechanisms to deliver our utility data to customers.

This role is a hybrid remote-first approach with Chennai as the anchor location and is an exceptional opportunity for someone who relishes the chance to engage with cutting-edge technology, influence how our team builds and stays relevant, and work in a fast-paced environment with engineers on a high-morale, tightly knit team. Our engineering values are deeply ingrained in our culture-- you can read more about them here.

Our AI-First Approach & Best Practices:

Arcadia is committed to an AI-first approach, characterized by a bold, explorative, and security-conscious strategy. We make heavy investments in AI tooling, including Claude, Cursor, Co-Pilot, and Gemini, to accelerate our development processes.

As a Software Engineer, you will contribute to and benefit from this approach by:

• Leveraging AI for Enhanced Productivity: Utilizing AI tools for code generation, analysis, and review to significantly reduce development time and improve code quality.
• Adhering to AI Best Practices: Employing prompt engineering for robustness, iteratively refining and validating AI-generated solutions, and prioritizing semantic understanding in AI interactions.
• Contributing to a Culture of Continuous Experimentation: Participating in a framework that retests as technology evolves and tracks AI improvements over time.
• Maintaining Foundational Engineering Skills: Recognizing that while AI is a powerful enabler, foundational software engineering skills remain crucial for troubleshooting, debugging, and maintaining AI-generated code.
• Fostering Innovation: Exploring new technologies with an open-minded team and contributing to a cautious, calculated approach to AI adoption, with a focus on production readiness and iteration.

What you’ll do:

• Write integrations, refactor scripts and code to help Arcadia efficiently collect and deliver data
